KJ's Hollywood Dirt for 3/12/2013

Over the weekend, "Us" magazine saidELISABETH HASSELBECK was being PUSHED OUT of "The View" . . . because viewers found her "too extreme and right-wing."

--Well, BARBARA WALTERS DENIED the rumor on the show yesterday.

--Barbara called it a "particularly false story," and said, quote, "The truth is, we love Elisabeth . . . beyond that, we value and appreciate her point of view. It's important to us because Elisabeth helps give this show perspective and balance . . .

--"We have no plans for Elisabeth to leave the show."

--Elisabeth didn't comment . . . and multiple sites online report that she's STILL not expected to return next season. And Barbara did seem to hint at that possibility.

--She added, quote, "Having said that to all of you, [producer] BILL [GEDDIE] and I have always said that when one of you makes the choice to leave, that is your choice, and we will support your decision."

--For what it's worth, "Us" magazine is sticking with their story. They quote some "insider" saying that the denial is part of a strategy to "save face" for both Elisabeth and the show.

--Information posted included credit reports, Social Security numbers and bank account information. Although sources say the info on Biden and Hillary wasn't as sensitive as it was for others.

--It's not clear if the website is still online. No one in the media would publish the address, and we couldn't find it as of last night. There's no word who's responsible.

--The LAPD and the FBI are both looking into this.

Justin Bieber Went to Amsterdam This Weekend . . . Did He Get High?

After a pretty rough week in London, JUSTIN BIEBER spent some time in Amsterdam over the weekend. And I know the question that immediately came to your mind was, "Did he smoke any weed?"

THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. may be dead . . . but his spirit lives on.

--And in a new animated TV show, his spirit will also help his children save his recording studio from an EVIL CORPORATE TAKEOVER. Seriously.

--The show is called "House of Wallace". Biggie's real life kids . . . 19-year-old Tyanna and 16-year-old C.J. . . . will voice characters based on themselves.

--It's unclear who's voicing Biggie's ghost . . . who will appear "in spirit" to, quote, "guide them through the adversities they face when trying to keep his Brooklyn studio open and out of a larger company's hand."

--No network is attached to this insanity yet . . . but the producers say they've had some "serious" bites on it.

--Biggie's son C.J. has already done some acting by the way. He played a younger version of Biggie in the movie "Notorious". And you might remember him as the boy who befriends WILL FERRELL in the divorce drama "Everything Must Go".
